Burrata originated from a small area of the region of Apulia, called Murgia. First produced around 1920 on the Bianchini farm in the town of Andria, (about 2/3 of the way up from Italy's heel to the spur of Apulia). In the 1950s, it became more widely available after a few of the local cheese factories - notably Chieppa - began producing it. It is generally suspected that factories were interested in it because it was a way to utilize the ritagli ("scraps" or "rags") of mozzarella.

The family-owned Di Stefano dairy is based in Southern California and is dedicated to making only one product: Di Stefano burrata! Their burrata is hand made with extreme care, passion, and dedication. On the plate this pure, sweet fresh cheese resembles nothing more than a ball of cow's milk mozzarella with a topknot. Once the cheese has been cut open the soft and creamy center slowly runs onto the plate. A luscious filling of stracciatelle blended with Italian panna ("cream") is encased in a sheet of fresh mozzarella. Like jewels in a drawstring pouch -- a little ball with a big surprise inside - delicate, delicious and very decadent! This product is steeped in Italian tradition, even using cream imported from Italy for the filling.

Fresh burrata should be served at room temperature. If it is too cold, the creamy filling becomes solid and hard and lacks that essential lusciousness.

Old taste, no creamy filling, absolutely over salted???
Dog ate it. Will not order again this Burrata.

Disappointing

It's hard to go wrong with burrata but I much prefer igourmet's Burrata by BelGioioso to this brand. I found it to be much creamier than this brand. Also, when it arrived it was pressed under some other items so the inside was separated from the mozzarella outside.

Excellent Service

Disappointing

While this cheese wasn't actively bad, it also wasn't actively good. No flavor, not of mozzarella, nor of anything in the center (which was kind of grainy). I MIGHT try another brand, but I won't bother with this one again.

Creamy and Delicious!

The Burrata cheese arrived in a cooled package right when I needed it. It was the perfect complement to my peach and tomato salad.

A Little Disappointing

This cheese has all the wonderful characters described in the literature but the cheese is completely without any identifiable flavor.

burrate

the flavor was not what I am used to. one of the 2 balls was not firm on the outside. I paid extra for an on time delivery and it arrived on time

Outstanding!

Exactly the way Burrata is suppose to be. I served two cheese balls with baby arugula, sliced tomatoes, diced red onion and drizzled with a good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Served along side, thinly cut crusty French bread. My guests loved it!
